MSU Alert

MSU ALERT is an emergency notification system that gives Midwestern State University the ability to send urgent and emergency information quickly by email and / or text message. MSU ALERT subscribers will be able to receive urgent information from university officials. MSU ALERT is a free service to all MSU students, faculty and staff.

As a MSU student, faculty or staff member you are automatically enrolled in the MSU ALERT notification system. Texas law requires that the University automatically enroll all students, faculty, and staff.

MSU ALERT is powered by e2Campus OMNILERT - a national mass notification solutions provider. Contact information you provide to the MSU ALERT service will only be used for delivering emergency information through e2Campus. E2Campus also has strict "ZeroSpam" and usage policies to protect subscribers.

MSU Emergency Management has worked diligently to enhance the way our MSU ALERT system is operated. ALL Students, Faculty and Staff, need to go into the MSU Portal and make sure your personal information in Banner is up to date and correct. MSU is required to establish all employees an account in our emergency notification system. Each of you has an account and when you update your information in Banner, it will also update the information in the MSU ALERT system within 48 hours. See the instructions below to update your personal information in Banner.
